The Routledge Handbook of Language Contact provides an overview of
the state of the art of current research in contact linguistics.
Presenting contact linguistics as an established field of
investigation in its own right and featuring 26 chapters, this
handbook brings together a broad range of approaches to contact
linguistics, including: experimental and observational approaches
and formal theories; a focus on social and cognitive factors that
impact the outcome of language contact situations and bilingual
language processing; the emergence of new languages and speech
varieties in contact situations, and contact linguistic phenomena
in urban speech and linguistic landscapes. With contributions from
an international range of leading and emerging scholars in their
fields, the four sections of this text deal with methodological and
theoretical approaches, the factors that condition and shape
language contact, the impact of language contact on individuals,
and language change, repertoires and formation. This handbook is an
essential reference for anyone with an interest in language contact
in particular regions of the world, including Anatolia, Eastern
Polynesia, the Balkans, Asia, Melanesia, North America, and West
Africa.
